FEBC’s doctrine of VPP, Perfect TR, and KJV-Onlyism reflects a zeal to defend God’s Word, but it does so at the cost of sound exegesis, historical accuracy, scholarly integrity, and church unity. While the Bible is indeed preserved and trustworthy, insisting on a single “perfect” TR and English translation has no biblical command, no confessional mandate, and no historical consensus.
The safer evangelical stance is:
-
Inspiration applies uniquely to the autographs.
-
Preservation applies generally through God’s providence in the manuscript tradition.
-
Translations are faithful insofar as they accurately reflect the inspired text, but no translation is “perfect.”
Thus, FEBC’s teaching must be seen as a new and sectarian development, not the historic Reformed faith.
